Perl
I noticed your attempts to try to fix issues with the naming convinctions used with the Programming:Perl book. I deleted all the duplications, I could find that you made under Begining Perl TOC and moved some of the Programming:Perl pages to use a name begining with Perl Programming instead. Copy pasting doesn't preserve the edit history like moving/renaming a page does, which is important to keep. I kept the kept the top Begining Perl TOC page, but renamed it as Perl Programming/TOC in case you or other people need it or intend to continue to develop it. --dark lama  04:18, 22 December 2006 (UTC)

Your historical documents project
Hi - closing the VfD on this I have moved the pages into your user space to work on User:Tannersf/Historical Documents. Maybe when this is something more than a collection of redlinks you will consider offering it as a book again - thanks -- Herby talk thyme 11:06, 22 December 2006 (UTC)

Star Trek Starships
I'm curious about the direction you want to go with this book. Wikibooks really shound't be just about a collection of encyclopedia-like articles but should be something a little more substantial. And from what I've seen, you are essentially writing a bunch of semi-related articles of a topical nature.

I'm not really trying to discourage you from contributing to Wikibooks, but I'm not entirely sure that this is the appropriate setting for writing content of this nature. This is also something called a "Macropedia", and is explicitly mentioned in the official policy WB:WIW.

From a personal viewpoint, I love Star Trek myself. This is nothing against trying to develop a Wikibook with a Star Trek related theme (like the Klingon Wikibook), but rather trying to duplicate Wikipedia or Wikipedia-like content here on Wikibooks. There is a long history about trying to make a distinction between the two projects (Wikibooks and Wikipedia), and I understand if it isn't exactly easy to tell the difference. That some Wikibooks do have a similar collection of article flavor may also be true, but these are exceptions and something that may in the future be removed from Wikibooks. I would rather not see you put large amounts of effort into something only to see it being removed become of being inappropriate to Wikibooks.

The only reason it survived the VfD earlier was mainly due to the fact that this was a brand-new Wikibook, and slapping a VfD on something totally new is generally discouraged. --Rob Horning 13:20, 24 December 2006 (UTC)

print versions and images
Don't worry about them... just remove it from the other pages, and it will no longer show up as linked from the print version. The print versions are just collections of transcluded pages, so if you remove them from the included pages, it is automatically removed from the print version as well. -- SB_Johnny | talk 04:21, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

Image removal
Uh, what exactly are you doing with the images? You haven't left edit summaries for any of your changes. If this is part of the image cleanup, there isn't any reason to actually remove the links to the images in many cases (e.g. on the Cookbook talk page archives). What you should do instead is just delete the image and leave the redlink. People will have to clean these up in the future. At the minimum, you need to explain each edit in the summary field. Kellen T 09:39, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

Hope you haven't taken my slow pace attempt to help remove images from pages from the end as a reason to stop from working on it from the begining of the category. Just trying to help meet in the middle. Using an edit summery as Kellen suggested is a good idea though. Should explain the edit is to remove an image that lacks a license tag. --dark lama  19:49, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

Seasonality
G'day, I just reverted your edits to the Seasonality of the following foodstuffs: Cookbook:Alfalfa, Cookbook:Artichoke, Cookbook:Arugula, Cookbook:Asparagus. Your edit summaries indicate that they were part of "image cleanup", but the actual impact was to break these pages. Please perform a preview of your edits before saving.

Additionally, I think that in these instances you took the wrong approach. The image was a simple single-colour GIF that could easily be recreated and uploaded with public domain license. I have now done this, solving the problem of license without breaking all pages that linked to it. Please bear this in mind when "cleaning up" further pages - don't let the "fix" become the problem.

Image cleanup
Just to say thanks for your help in this - it has been a big job but hopefully we are nearly there - regards -- Herby talk thyme 14:07, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

I'd also like to say thanks, and one more thing - please stop. There are images now missing, with no links saying that they're even missing, and for no better reason than that they had no licensing information. I don't have the time to pick over long lists of contribs for you and others who are removing these images and any links to them, so please desist for now.

At least some of these images are either in existence on Wiki Commons or are easy to recreate (e.g. maths formulas). It would be far better for the project if these images were replaced, substituted, or fixed rather than deleted along with any reference to them. For just a couple of examples, please check out these pages:

Acoustics/Human Vocal Fold
I notice you took out a link on the bottom of this page - could you say why please? I am not aware of this being either practice or policy (use of the edit summary would help if you are doing that sort of thing) - thanks -- Herby talk thyme 12:48, 1 January 2007 (UTC)
 * No problem - now I understand, thanks and regards -- Herby talk thyme 13:11, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

Naming of new pages
Hi - looking at the "new pages" log I see you have started another book which looks interesting 8th Grade Science. I see you have renamed one page but could you look at Section 1: How Science Works which I think you probably mean to be part of the book? Thanks -- Herby talk thyme 12:28, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
 * No problem I've made plenty and will probably make more - I prefer folk to point them out to me. Regards -- Herby  talk thyme 12:38, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

POV Concerns
I have left a message about my POV concerns with your Ten Commandments book on its talk page. --Munchkinguy 03:16, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

Volcanos book
Hi - yesterday I was doing some tidying on stub type pages and marked some as qr-em (ie they become speedy in 7 days). I then realised one of them was a page of your Volcano book. I have taken it off again however I then noticed that there are a number of pages in the book that show up in special:Shortpages. This means that it is quite possible that others will find them and maybe mark them - could you give me any idea of your plans with the book? I'm not sure whether you feel some redlinks would be better than leading to a page that just has headings at present? Please do let me know if I can help - regards -- Herby talk thyme 10:58, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

Big Bend Country
Should this be a sub page of Texas State Travel Guide - thanks -- Herby talk thyme 12:27, 17 February 2007 (UTC)
 * And Alpine? -- Herby talk thyme 13:21, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

Help on rendering in Blender Eye tutorial
I am trying to go through the eye tutorial for Blender to make the corresponding file (and to verify tutorial steps). But, I cannot get the render to look good, and you can see my attempt at http://nusoy.com/blender. I'd appreciate any help you can provide on this. Thanks in advance.
